Time spent is still increasing, users base is still growing. I'm not sure why you think lower original content is equivalent to dying? As long as we continue serving people the content they want, whether it be original or not I think there is a lot of upside.
iMessage is a social networking platform (WeChat) in disguise, AirPod is Alexa in your ears, their mobile chip design expertise is second to none (people always forget this).
For the next five years, I see them strengthen their ecosystem lock in by building a hardware walled garden through their vertical integration advantage. They will also go into TV, expand their music (apple exclusives coming soon?), and make important acquisitions with their gigantic pile of cash. Not sure about their car project, but they will for sure release some kind of AR glasses within 5 years.

AAPL is dying, but may still be okay within the next 5 years.
AMZN is doing well but the stock is grossly overvalued.
FB is dying and will be gone soon.
